Abstract: A sending-receiving system, a sender apparatus, a sending method, a receiver apparatus, a receiving method, a recording medium, and a program for improving the reliability of communication. A TS packet sequence furnished with an RTP header includes audio data. The audio data alone constitutes a TS packet sequence having the RTP header as well. That is, an RTP packet having the same sequence number of, for example, “1235h” is transmitted twice in a row. If the receiving side can receive at least one of the two RTP packets thus transmitted, that means the audio data has been sent intact. This arrangement makes it possible to prevent disconnections of audio being offered to the user. The invention applies to both the transmitting and the receiver apparatus for sending and receiving data therebetween.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmitter and a receiver designed to improve the reliability of communications therebetween. During communication processes under UDP adopted as the transport layer, data having RTP headers is transmitted and received between the transmitter and the receiver. The receiver references the sequence numbers in the received RTP headers to verify the continuity of the numbers. If any data with a serially continuous sequence number is not received, the receiver finds that data to be missing and requests the transmitter to retransmit the data associated with the missing sequence number. The receiver then acquires the missing data that has been retransmitted. This invention applies to transmitters that transmit data and to receivers that receive the transmitted data.

A TS packet sequence 111 furnished with an RTP header 112 includes audio data. That audio data alone constitutes a TS packet sequence 121 having the RTP header 112 as well. That is, an RTP packet having the same sequence number of, say, “1235h” is transmitted twice in a row. If the receiving side can receive at least one of the two RTP packets thus transmitted, that means the audio data has been sent intact. This arrangement makes it possible to prevent disconnections of audio being offered to the user. The invention applies to both the transmitting and the receiver apparatus for sending and receiving data therebetween.

Abstract: A transmission/reception system is provided. In a transmitter, error correction data is added to each set of N TS packets, an RTP packet is generated by collecting M (N>M) TS packets with the added error correction data and sequentially assigning a sequence number to each set of the M TS packets, and each RTP packet is transmitted by converting the RTP packets into data transmittable to a receiver. In the receiver, the data from the transmitter is received, the RTP packet is acquired from the data received, it is judged, from the sequence number of the RTP packet, whether there is any dropped packet not received, and the dropped packet is corrected by using the RTP packets, if there is a dropped packet not received.
